Today's poem is by Dylan Marlais Thomas, born October 27, 1914 in the Welsh seaport of Swansea, Wales. Thomas attended the Swansea Grammar School, where he received all of his formal education. As a student he made contributions to the school magazine and was keenly interested in local folklore. Having declared at the age of eight that he was a poet, he began writing early and published his first book of poetry, 18 Poems (1934), when he was not yet twenty years old. After leaving school, Thomas supported himself as an actor, reporter, reviewer, scriptwriter, and with various odd jobs.By 1938 Thomas's reputation was growing the United Kingdom, yet he was still basically unknown in the United States until a poem of his appeared in the 1938 anthology New Directions in Poetry and Prose, and two of his earlier poetry volumes were published by James Laughlin under the title The World I Breathe (1939).During World War II, Thomas wrote radio scripts for the Ministry of Information and documentaries for the British government. After the war he became a commentator on poetry for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Thomas continued writing poems, stories, essays, and plays, and in 1950 made the first of four reading tours through the United States, during which he gave more than one hundred poetry readings. In these appearances he half recited, half chanted the lines in what became known as his famous “Welsh singing” voice and inspired generations of modern poets to begin reading their poems in public.Following the extraordinary success of his just-published Collected Poems, Thomas began his final tour of the United States on October 16, 1953. He collapsed at the Chelsea Hotel and fell into a coma on November 5. He died four days later in St. Vincent's Hospital at the age of thirty-nine. Thomas was buried in the graveyard of St. Martin's Church, Laugharne, Wales. He is best known for poems like “Do not go gentle into that good night” and the poetic prose work, A Child's Christmas in Wales.-bio via New Directions Press Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Each month, our Carrier Connections program features a different X-linked condition with the goal to increase awareness and education of X-linked conditions and how they impact females. This month, we are featuring Kennedy's disease. Kennedy's disease is an X-linked disorder characterized by muscle weakness and wasting that typically manifests in adulthood. It is caused by a mutation in the AR gene, which is responsible for encoding a protein called an androgen receptor. Studies show that some female carriers may experience muscle weakness and neurodegeneration. Today, we are joined by Dr. Christopher Grunseich, M.D. Dr. Chris Grunseich is a Staff Clinician in the Neurogenetics Branch, NINDS. He completed his undergraduate studies at Brown University, and went on to receive his M.D. from SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine in 2006. While at SUNY Stony Brook he completed an HHMI research fellowship year working in the laboratory of Dr. Gail Mandel. He then completed medical internship at St. Vincent's Hospital, and his residency training in neurology at Georgetown University. He joined Dr. Kenneth Fischbeck's research group as a neurogenetics fellow, and has been a Staff Clinician since 2016. He is board certified in Neurology. His research focuses on clinical studies of patients with motor neuron disease and using patient-derived cell models to better understand the biology of motor neuron diseases.

ATTENTION: Anyone with back issues in need of surgery MUST read this first.    Dr. Ardavan Aslie is a board-certified spine surgeon who received his undergraduate education at the University of California, Berkeley, where he double-majored inphysiology and genetics. He earned his MD from New York Medical College and completed his residency at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City while working with some of the world's most renowned scoliosis surgeons. He received his spine surgery fellowship training at Harvard University. In addition to his private practice, Dr. Aslie has been active in researching and developing cutting-edge treatments for osteoporotic and aging spines.      Dr. Aslie's new hard-hitting exposé CORPORATE SPINE: How Spinal Surgery Went Off Track and How We Put it Right reveals eye-opening new research into the surprisingly common practice of using pedicle screws in spine surgery and despite overwhelming evidence that they are practically useless and cause harm down the road.   Seeing the money, the funding, and the support to cover up this dirty secret made me question if this was right – but I knew I had to write a book about uncovering the truth.   INTERVIEW HERE*****   CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE Each year, an estimated half-million people will undergo spinal fusion surgery in the US alone. In most cases, surgeons will implant rods and screws into a patient's fused vertebrae as part of the procedure. There's just one (enormous) problem: according to the published medical literature, the screws provide little to no benefit for patients. They do, however, provide billions in profit for a handful of medical device companies. In this meticulously researched and hard-hitting exposé, veteran California spine surgeon Ardavan Aslie, MD, sounds the alarm on this all-too-common but unproven standard of care. Despite overwhelming evidence that pedicle screws often do more harm than good, device manufacturers continue to push profits over patients. The failure of spine surgery to develop and utilize more effective surgical options has, sadly, led it to a dead end. It doesn't have to be this way. In Corporate Spine, Dr. Aslie explains how spinal surgery got to this low point, how patients can protect themselves, and how spinal surgery can get back on track to help, not hurt, the estimated 16 million Americans suffering from chronic back pain. Whether this describes you or someone you know, Corporate Spine offers an illuminating report from the frontlines that will both astound and empower.

In today's podcast episode, Dr. Ardavan Aslie, a seasoned spine surgeon with over 20 years of experience, sheds light on the controversial use of plates and screws for rigid fixation in surgeries. Dr. Aslie takes a critical look at the standard practice, despite the use and availability of different materials and he explains how this approach may not be as effective as it seems. It is a much more interesting story and discussion than it sounds - gives us a good view of how modern medicine works.   His new book is called "Corporate Spine: How Spinal Surgery Went Off Track and How We Put it Right". The book reveals continued research into the surprisingly common practice of using pedicle screws in spine surgery despite overwhelming evidence that they are practically useless and cause harm down the road. Dr. Aslie's ultimate goal is to empower patients to ask their surgeons the tough questions, encouraging them to stay informed about the limitations of current practices and pushing the surgeons to do further research.   Dr. Aslie is a board-certified spine surgeon who earned his MD from New York Medical College and his spine surgery fellowship training at Harvard University. He completed his residency at New York's famed St. Vincent's Hospital while working with some of the world's most renowned scoliosis surgeons.

In this episode we talk about the broken standard of care in spinal surgery and the jaw-dropping layers of corruption that have led to more than 30 years of the surgical implantation of a small, but dangerous screw – a screw that continues to be used to this very day, including by Dr. Aslie himself.

In the episode, "Psychosis Outside the Box & Chapter 7: Back in New York"-- A Reading from My Memoir" (S5, E1), in opening up about my own first episode psychosis, I start with a description of the project "Psychosis Outside the Box" under the authors Shannon Pagdon and Nev Jones, which can be reviewed here: https://ps.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ps.20220488. I point to how other traditions worldwide approach states of "psychosis" differently, with more respect and community support. I refer to an article written by Mad in America writer and counselor Jonathan Keyes which can be read here: https://www.madinamerica.com/2014/02/traditional-healing-psychosis/I then read Chapter 7 of my Memoir, Not As Crazy As You Think.The following is a book description of Chapter 7  "Back in New York":The airline attendants act as my nurse team as I lay sick for hours into the 24-hour plane ride. My exhausted body then suddenly falls limp, and I enter a blissful dimension that bestows to me wisdom into the meaning of the entire universe. The angelic whispers assure me I am “coming home,” but that I must go back.  And when I return with a thump to my body, miraculously, my illness has vanished.On my first night back in New York, my angels are still within reach, and they lead me to a disturbing mistake in the matrix code on cable television, which they call the Hitler Glitch. They tell me I must prove with my one life everything, and that I must eliminate the Dead White Man Virus. When my parents become worried about my preoccupied state of mind, they admit me to St. Vincent's Hospital, a mental institution in Harrison, NY. #psychosis #mentalillness #mentalhealth #hearingvoices #timetravel #wormholes #distortionofspacetime #wakefuldreamstate #neardeathexperience #spiritualemergency #psychosisoutsidethebox #madinamerica #indigenousknowledge #spiritualentities #shamanismTo listen to the chapters you missed, here are the podcast links to Chapters 1-6 of Not As Crazy As You Think:How Psychiatric Labeling Leads to "The St. Patty's Day Lockdown": Reading of Chapter 1 from My Memoir (S1, E5)https://www.buzzsprout.com/1462411/6987607Traveling in 1994, and a Reading of Chapter 2: "The Scientific Library" (S1, E6):https://www.buzzsprout.com/1462411/7069720A Reading From My Memoir: Chapter 3, "The Brahman Class" (S2, E5):https://www.buzzsprout.com/1462411/8115654A Reading From My Memoir: Chapter 4, "The Taj Mahal" (S2, E7):https://www.buzzsprout.com/1462411/8204867The Imperialist Global Mental Health Movement and A Reading of Chapter 5: "A Sentence to Bear" (S2, E10):https://www.buzzsprout.com/1462411/8339023A Reading From My Memoir: Chapter 6, "Mahander" (S2, E23):https://www.buzzsprout.com/1462411/9164026Don't forget to subscribe to the Not As Crazy As You Think YouTube channel @SicilianoJenAnd please visit my website at: www.jengaitasiciliano.comConnect: Instagram: @ jengaitaLinkedIn: @ jensicilianoTwitter: @ jsiciliano

Dr. Richard Restak concurs with the 18th century British writer, Samuel Johnson, who once said, “The true art of memory is the art of attention.”A neurologist and neuropsychologist and expert on the human brain, Dr. Restak believes that all methods of nourishing and protecting one's memory entail the ability to focus attention. His favorite technique is turning words into visual images to establish what he calls a “memory path.”“Seeing something and converting the word or a sense into a picture, into a mental drawing, is the key to setting up memory,” he explains.Dr. Restak also advocates other paths for protecting one's memory - cooking (which can require organization and memorization of recipes), the use of technology (to support memory, not replace it), getting adequate sleep, playing games, avoiding fast food and trending toward vegetarianism, and exercising. Guest Bio:Dr. Richard Restak is a noted neurologist and neuropsychiatrist who has written extensively on the subject of the human brain.He is the author of 20 books, all on aspects of the brain, two of which were New York Times Best Sellers - The Brain (1984) and The Mind (1988). Both those books were turned into television series by the Public Broadcasting System.His most recent book, The Complete Guide to Memory: The Science of Strengthening Your Mind, published in 2021, is a cornucopia of information on memory and offers numerous suggestions for how individuals can enhance their memory and protect it from deteriorating.Dr. Restak earned degrees from Gettysburg College and Georgetown University School of Medicine. He completed his internship at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City and residencies at Georgetown University Hospital and George Washington University Hospital. Now 80, he still has a private practice in  neurology and neuropsychology and is a clinical professor of neurology at George Washington Hospital University School of Medicine and Health.Often appearing as a guest on television and radio shows, Dr. Restak has written articles for numerous newspapers and contributed entries on neuroscience and the brain to the Encyclopedia Brittanica and the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience.

Be Well, Be Keto: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Results!

Dr. Aslie is a Board Certified, Harvard University Fellow Spine Surgeon who received his undergraduate education at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Aslie received a bachelor's degree in physiology and another bachelor's degree in genetics. Dr. Aslie maintained a grade point average of 3.9 and graduated Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. Aslie attended medical school at New York Medical College where he continued excellent academic performance. At the end of the academic portion of medical school, which is the first two years, Dr. Aslie was ranked number one in his class. Dr. Aslie continued his excellent performance throughout his clinical years and obtained honors in all his major clinical rotations. Dr. Aslie completed his residency at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City under the supervision of internationally known scoliosis surgeon, Dr. Thomas Haher. Dr. Aslie went on to receive his spine surgery fellowship training at Harvard University where he trained under the supervision on the world renowned forefather of spine surgery, Dr. Augustus White. After graduation, Dr. Aslie has remained quite active in continuing education and contributes regularly as a guest speaker at conferences. In addition, Dr. Aslie has been quite active in research and development and holds multiple patents on a revolutionary new device and techniques for fixation of the osteoporotic and aging spine. During his first three years of practice, Dr. Aslie became aware of a significant challenge confronting patients who underwent spinal surgery. He realized that the only device available for fixation of multiple vertebrae was a large screw which was placed inside each individual bone and required the vertebrae to be connected by a metal rod. As people who underwent this operation would age, cancellous bone inside the vertebrae would become increasingly weak and in an unacceptably high number of instances the screw would lose its grip causing older patients to require multiple surgeries. Solving this problem became Dr. Aslie's main priority and finally, after years of research and study, Dr. Aslie developed the laminar plating system. This device takes advantage of outside bone known as “cortical bone” which is not affected by aging as much as the cancellous bone inside the vertebrae. Dr. Aslie's laminar plating system is secured against the vertebrae using composite straps that wrap around the bone instead of penetrating it and the device eliminates the pressure points created by metal devices. Lastly, one final aspect which makes Dr. Aslie's device so effective is that his device's special composite straps are stronger than steel straps of the same size. There were six crucial steps which needed to be taken to develop this device. Attacking this problem with the mentality that failure was not an option, Dr. Aslie was able to take each of these crucial steps and invent the laminar plating system which he now holds multiple patents for. It is this relentless pursuit of perfection that makes Dr. Aslie and his practice special to his patients.

SCHEMES AND TEAMS Academic careers often rest on the outcome of highly competitive grant schemes. But moving beyond blue sky research also opens up new opportunities, with grants targeted at entrepreneurs, exporters and innovative businesses. Born in south-west Sydney, Rhys Cornock is a scientist turned business consultant with a broad-based skillset. Initially trained in nanotechnology, Rhys' graduate job put him at the forefront of 3D printing, and eventually lead to the establishment of one of Australia's first clinical 3D printing hubs in St. Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne. Ever in search of a challenge Rhys swapped his lab coat for a suit and tie in 2014, joining leading consulting firm Ernst and Young to help draft R+D tax incentive grant applications for large corporates. But after two years (and dabbling in van life), Rhys knew it was time to branch out on his own.  Since establishing his own boutique consultancy Sprout Scientific, Rhys has been focused on the world of startups, helping deep-tech and social enterprise businesses put their best foot forward for public funding.  Come for the van life, stay for the business advice.  GUEST : Rhys Cornock  www.linkedin.com/in/rhys-cornock-b524a231 SPROUT SCIENTIFIC www.sproutscientific.com/ EON LABS :  https://www.eonlabs.org/ RENY DIGITAL : https://renydigital.com/ HOST : Dr. Leo Stevens https://www.linkedin.com/in/leostevensinc/ MUSIC : Purple Planet Music https://www.purple-planet.com Mixed by Dr. Nat Harris

By Michael Tetreault, Editor-in-Chief We sit down with Dr. Daniel Stock, the Founding Physician at PureHealth Functional Family Medicine. Dr. Stock's office is located in Noblesville, Indiana. After 18 years of being hospital-employed, Dr. Daniel Stock has opened the doors to his new functional family medicine practice. The practice is one of only two functional family medicine practices in the state of Indiana, but is the sole practice to provide care through Direct Primary Care (DPC), and without involving health insurance. As a DPC practice, PureHealth Functional Family Medicine enables patients to pay a flat, monthly fee for unlimited health care, while reserving their health insurance for specialty physician visits and hospitalizations. “I want to offer my patients all that Functional Family Medicine offers at a flat price, while also providing them care when they need it,” said Dr. Daniel Stock, founding physician of PureHealth Functional Family Medicine. “The best part of functional medicine is tackling both common or acute diseases and chronic complex issues from lacerations and sore throats, to Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and even Parkinson's Disease.” Despite practicing for three decades, Dr. Stock has most recently learned of an innovative way of reversing Alzheimer's Disease. He says he believes that finding out all the elements that cause a person to become ill is the best way to be able to treat a chronic disease. “Whether my patient is battling the common cold, or Alzheimer's Disease, my goal is to realize and achieve ‘good healthcare,' and to that, I believe in spending more time with each patient to inform them of their options, make decisions and plan out the best, next steps” said Dr. Stock. “I firmly believe most issues can be solved by lifestyle changes if caught early enough, and in an economical way. And, DPC functional medicine allows for that to occur.” Dr. Stock completed his undergraduate degree at Notre Dame University, his medical degree at Indiana University, and internship at St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis. He began practicing primary care in 1989. A founding diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Lipidology, Dr. Stock is also a diplomate of the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.

Episode 12, The Case Against    From "Blood on Black" by Gary Meece    "Suicidal, threatening family, drug Use, Parental concern re: Satanism"       When Pam Echols and Joe Hutchison picked up Damien from Charter Hospital in Little Rock, Hutchison had not seen his son for years and didn't recognize him at first. “I was in there and turned around to Pam and ask her, ‘Is this him?' You know, I was very confused,”  Hutchison later testified. In a Sept. 3, 2000, declaration, Hutchison talked about Damien's time in Oregon: “I told Pam I thought we should move to Oregon and we packed up the family and took off. Michael was having a really hard time then. He had just broken up with his girlfriend Deanna and cried the entire ride up there. He was just really, really sad. When we got to Oregon, I set Michael up with a job at one of the BP gas stations that I ran. I thought Michael would do a really good job working there and I was hoping that everything was going to work out.” Echols spent several weeks with the family in Aloha, Ore., just outside Portland, before matters came to a head.  As with many accounts from the Echols family, what actually happened remained unclear. Several incidents led up to Echols being readmitted to a mental hospital.   One medical professional subsequently downplayed Echols' display of symptoms, suggesting he was using alleged mental problems as a means of manipulation.   Indeed, Echols often has seemed able to turn the “crazy” off at will, using his “mental illness” as just another attention-seeking schtick, like dressing up in black, or as an excuse for bad behavior.       Echols was either dangerously mentally ill or doing a very good imitation of a violent maniac in Portland. As Joe Hutchison later testified, “The altercations that was brought up is two different instances made in one. The first instance was this is —- I was afraid —- he had a habit of shutting his bedroom door and had been by himself and him being depressed as he was, and the medicine that he was taking, I was worried. I went into the bedroom. I opened the bedroom door. He did have a knife. It wasn't an altercation at that time. I asked him one time, ‘Hand me the knife.' There was never an argument, never a cross word. He handed me the knife.” Hutchison testified Echols had been talking about committing suicide. As for the second incident, Hutchison testified, “I am the one who took him to the hospital. … And the altercation that broke out he did tell me he would eat me alive but it was after I made the first move …. He had —- he didn't want to be there but he went there because I took him there for them to do observation on him and at that time and the way that I am, sometimes my temper gets the best of me.  If you say just one little word, you know, it would kind of tee me off. But it was my mistake. I'm the one who cause him to tell me that … He stood up in there and he said somebody is going to get slapped. Well, if anybody had to be slapped,  I'd rather it had been me. I stood in front of him and called him names that I shouldn't have called him. I called him a punk and I'm one —- I can't —- it's my fault. He did tell me he would eat me alive but it was after that. I'm the one who caused it.” Hutchison testified that Echols remained in the hospital about two weeks, though records showed he was there just two days. “From there he was homesick for his girlfriend and everything. I had to make arrangements for her to come out there.”  Echols supposedly had been distraught over his breakup with Deanna but had also reconnected with Domini. Given the time frame, it's not clear how Hutchison would have been able to make arrangements for Domini  “to come out there.” “And he was set on coming back into Arkansas, back to West  Memphis, and at that time Jack was living down there.”   Hutchison testified, “And finally I said, ‘Well, you know if that's what he wants, then, you know, let him have him.' And that's when he come back to live with Jack. … I put him in a cab. I had a cab take him to the bus station.”  According to records at St. Vincent's Hospital and Medical Center in Portland,  Echols was admitted on on Sept. 2, 1992.   Echols was described as  “suicidal, threatening family, drug use, parental concern re: satanism.”  According to notes from a social worker: “Dad says that Damien has been sniffing gasoline & that at dinner table tonight he talks about drinking a bottle of bleach & that it would be over soon. Pt told sister that he would be killing himself in the next 3 days … has made threats to kill himself by hanging w/bed sheet or tying socks together & told grandmother today that he would cut his mother's throat.”  Hutchison later struggled to explain the  incident to WMPD Chief Inspector Gary Gitchell and John Fogleman: “There had been some kind of misunderstanding one night, you know, I was in on it. And I was, somebody had uh, a matter of fact, his grandmother had told me, well, you know, he's got a knife. He's got a knife out of the drawer … I went looking for it. I did not find one, you know. And after all this was over with, and there was a big scuffle, um, there wasn't a scuffle. We didn't fight. No, did not fight. Uh, he was took to the hospital. …” Gitchell asked: “Well why did you have to take him to the hospital?” Hutchison answered: “Because when I accused him of this, he got a little upset, and again, I haven't been around this boy in 8 years, and uh, so I told him that it's best, let's go to the hospital. Now, you know we all know you know, uh, I'm not going to say he's not right, you know …” Understandably Fogleman and Gitchell did not know. Fogleman followed up with the obvious, unanswered question: “What, I mean, what happened that it got so bad, he needed to go to the hospital?” Hutchison's answer did little to clarify: “Nothing, really. I called the police out there. I will tell you what I did do. And you know, he was making his money, and he was spending his money any way that he wanted to spend it. And I didn't care cause I was the one paying the bills … uh, he had bought 3 knives … To me it was just knives in a holster that you wear on your sock. … And, you know, naturally you accuse somebody of something, and he was … he's always been afraid, I won't say more afraid of the police, okay, so, he put the knives on. And he was in his bedroom. … This was at, at, you know, the start. … So, I go into the bedroom, and I sit down on the bed, you know, and I don't picture Damien as hurting other people. … His self maybe. I would believe that more than I would him hurting other people.” Fogleman: “Have you ever seen him try to hurt himself?“ The typically self-contradicting answer: “No, nothing, you know. I've seen him beat his head on a wall. … Other than that, that's all I've seen. …  “So, I went in there, and I sat on his bed, and I just said, what you gonna do with them? He say, they're not gonna take me Daddy. They're not going to take me. I said who is gonna take you? The police. You called the police. I said son, I said I ain't trying to have you locked up. So, I talked to him for a minute there, and I asked him, I said I want to ask you, I said I want the knives. … Without any resistance whatsoever,  I got ‘em.  … But, the only altercation, like I said, that we had, was at the hospital. …” Fogleman continued to try to get an answer to the obvious question: “Uh huh. Why did you call the police?” Hutchison said: “ … I knew he had a case of mental imbalance. … I didn't want to take any chances. If he exploded then, I wanted to call the police.” Hutchison denied he had concerns about his own safety: “You know, Damien wouldn't hurt me.”  Hutchison explained again that Damien had offered no resistance and there was no knife taken from the drawer as the grandmother alleged.     Fogleman tried again: “Alright, well then why did you call the police?” Hutchison: “Because, you know. He does have a temper.  You know, he got a little … It was nothing that I couldn't handle, but I didn't want to take any chances. … He did not do anything. The only thing he said y'all don't believe nothing I say. You take her word over mine … You want to look at it, he was right … You know that he had bought knives, and I took them. At that point, after, before I took the knives, I did call the police. Before they got there, I went in and I took the knives myself.” In his 2000 declaration, Hutchison offered more details: “While we were in Oregon, Michael got really sad, like the time when we were driving up there. Finally he locked himself up in a closet and had taken something in there with him. His grandmom told me that Michael had a knife. I thought that this was really serious and Pam and I made him go to a hospital in Oregon. Michael got really upset with me and I lost my temper and, after I yelled at him, he got even more upset. I feel bad about this whole incident because what started it was when Michael's grandmother told me he had a knife. I do not know why I immediately trusted her, instead of checking it out, but what I found out later was that Michael may have just had a spoon with him.” Unlike in 1993, Hutchison said Echols had locked himself in a closet and he made no mention in 2000 of the three knives in a holster taken from Echols. Damien testified that he had several knives on him during this incident, including a boot knife.  Pam Hutchison told investigators the trip to the Oregon hospital “was basically for the same thing” as the trip to Charter in June. “He was real depressed. He cried a lot. He didn't want to come out of his room.” In a declaration on Sept. 4, 2000, she said: “Damien was very unhappy in Oregon. I was very worried about him because he would lock himself in a closet and talk about suicide. I finally decided that he had to be placed in a hospital so that he did not do anything to himself. He did not want to be admitted but I insisted because I was very concerned for him. Damien got really upset with me and Joe for putting him in there but I did not feel that I had a choice. After he was released from the hospital, we sent him back to West Memphis on a bus. I wanted him to stay in Oregon with us but I thought that if he really wanted to go back to Arkansas then instead of arguing with him to stay, I should just let him go.”  Pam made no mention of calling the police, the knives in a holster, the threats to cut her throat, the threats against Joe; in her version, she was the one who made the decision to have Damien hospitalized; she also claimed she wanted him to stay on with them while everyone else said the family wanted him out of the home.  “… He never threatened to kill me. … I'm sure about that. … In my opinion, sometimes he lets his temper get the best of him. And he said, well, I'm fixing to hit somebody, and I stopped him. I said no, you're not.” Echols later admitted he had been drinking that night.  At the hospital, he threatened to eat his father alive with a spoon.    The emergency room report said: “The patient … comes in by way of parents, concerned about his mental health. Apparently, the police were called to the house and after discussing with him his options, he comes voluntarily to St. Vincent Hospital for evaluation. Apparently, the parents were concerned about his thoughts of harming himself and possibly others.” Echols told the staff he had been feeling homesick after talking with friends in Arkansas and that his parents misinterpreted his tears as a sign of depression. The ER report said: “He apparently has had thoughts of harming himself by his report to the family members, even though he denies that. He has talked about drinking lye or some type of bleach that would kill himself, he has also apparently told his sister that he won't be around much longer. The parents are concerned that he is also into satanism or devil worship. He apparently has a number of items that relates to this. … “… He has apparently cut on his hands in the past …  “The patient denies suicidal or homicidal ideation at this time, however, in talking with the family members, they state that he made it quite clear that he had thoughts of harming other people, i.e. was going to cut the throat of his mother and has said so in the past and also apparently made some verbal threats to his father here at St. Vincent Hospital even.” In the ER, Echols was calm, responsive and lucid, denying hallucinations or delusions.  He denied most of the information given by his father, including that he wanted to harm himself or kill others.  He denied involvement in Satanism or cult activities. Echols told the doctors: “Everything is fine at home.” The admission diagnosis? “Suicidal/homicidal ideation. Adjustment disorder.” Echols was placed on suicide watch.  He apparently slept well that night. Notes for his treatment plan: “When seen … this morning, he continues to deny suicidal ideation, but acknowledges that he has been depressed for quite some time related to ongoing legal and family problems and most recently missing his friends in Arkansas.”  He was described as quietly compliant. Later, “Parents visited …. visit did not go well. he was tearful & would not discuss visit other than to say ‘I no longer have parents.''' Staffers heard Echols beg his parents to take him home. He showed little interest in complying with treatment after that.  Echols filled out a questionnaire of several pages for the patient database. The first question: “what do you do when you feel uptight or angry?” His answer: “nothing” He gave the same answer to “who do you turn to when things are not going well?” On personal qualities, he checked off “cold and not very emotional,”  “a leader,” “bored easily” and “quick tempered.”  He said it was “easy to make friends.” What he liked best about himself was his “determination” and that he wanted to change “nothing” about himself.  To questions about school, he scrawled, “I don't go to school.” He felt different from other kids: “Other kids are shallow.…” “Neither” parent was the easiest to get along with. He said his parents had no alcohol, drug or legal troubles and said there were no problems that his family argued about routinely. Asked “how do your parents discipline you?” he answered, “They don't.” He described his mother as having a number of positive traits, adding that she was “stupid.”  He said his father was “stupid” and bad-tempered.  He said his parents had a “warm and affectionate” relationship in which they “enjoy activities together” and “argue often.” He said he was allergic to “everything” and had used “marijuana, speed, acid, gas.”  A perceptive progress report noted: “He appears to be an individual who passively provokes anxiety in others including actual petty criminal behavior, now mixed up with suicidal threats entitling him to psychiatric treatment. … “He is not suicidal, but rather is in disagreement about living in Oregon and on this basis pines for Arkansas and his friends.” A discerning mental health professional had noted manipulative aspects of Damien's “mental health problem.” Echols told doctors: “I'm the only person who stands up to my Dad. My Mom just cries but I don't stand for him pushing me around. I won't want anything to do with either one of them. I just want to be on my own from here on out. I'm not suicidal, that's their way of trying to keep me in a hospital & away from my friends & girlfriend.”  Dr. Stanley Sturges in his Physician's Progress Report on Sept. 3 bolstered Echols' self-assessment: “…. There is no evidence of a thought disorder. He is not depressed and his efforts at self harm may be seen more as a manipulation to escape responsibility for a wide variety of behaviors which have got him into difficulty with the law. … Plans for emancipation and return to Arkansas seem reasonable to me.” A social services report noted that Pam and Joe showed up for the assessment, explaining they had recently reconciled after many years apart.  “Father maintains that he barely knows his son. … “Pam stated that she has had difficulty with Damien since he was 10 years old. He always tended to be an angry child and somewhat difficult to manage, particularly through his adolescent years. She is convinced that he is into activities, such as witchcraft and is very concerned about the quality of friends that he developed while living in Arkansas. For this reason, she felt that coming to Oregon would be a new beginning for him. … “Because of the circumstances that precipitated the hospitalization and Damien's threats, particularly toward his father and of course his mother, both parents do not feel that they wish to have him return to their home. They are frightened of him and what he can do, not only to them but to other children that reside in the home.” Damien described plans to go back to Arkansas, including making proper arrangements with his probation officer. Jerry Driver had continued to track Echols' whereabouts. An attending nurse noted that Echols' mother would be picking him up after his discharge and making arrangements for travel back to Arkansas by bus.  “Damien has been quiet, but cooperative. He shows little or no investment in treatment.” Echols said he was engaged to Domini, who was still living in Illinois with her father though Dian Teer, her mother, lived in Arkansas. According to Dian, Echols returned from Oregon “to be with Domini.”  Domini apparently left the home of her father about this time, because she could not get along with him, to live with her mom. She reunited with Echols soon after his return. They had been boyfriend and girlfriend prior to Echols' final breakup with Deanna.  Meanwhile, Echols' parents planned to remarry.  The discharge summary on Sept. 4 stated Echols had been admitted to the emergency room “because of alleged threats to his parents.”  It cited “considerable conflict between him and his parents through the years in which he has threatened to harm himself in the context of a host of legal difficulties.” Echols offered contradicting claims about his use of street drugs, at one point saying he had not used in four months, at another saying he had not used in a year and in the discharge summary, “He admits … using street drugs within the past year.”  In Glori Shettles' notes about the hospital stay prepared for his defense, she wrote: “Diagnosis — Suicidal ideation, Depression. Admitted through Emergency Room — parents called police — alleged threat to parents. Parents stated he has been abusing drugs. Threatening suicide. “Information was consistent from Michael. Parents expressed concern that he was involved in satanism. Felt family members were in danger.  Michael stirred chocolate with a spoon. Grandmother accused him of having knife, but wasn't true.  … “Probation officer made phone arrangements for Michael to return to Arkansas and check in with probation office upon arrival. Michael missed friends and parents thought it was best he return without them. Hospital agreed. Did not feel he was suicidal or a threat.” In still another description, Dr. George W. Woods said in his 2000 affidavit: “Mr. Echols' mental illness worsened after his release from Charter Hospital. Within two weeks of moving to Oregon with his family he was voluntarily admitted to St. Vincent Hospital in Portland after his parents observed extremely bizarre behavior that was unresponsive to outside influence. Mr. Echols and his family have different memories of the events surrounding Mr. Echols' admission to St. Vincent's Hospital. … “As had staff members at Charter Hospital, those at St. Vincent consistently described Mr. Echols as quiet, compliant and noncombative. The admitting diagnoses were psychotic disorder, not otherwise specified, dysthymia, depression, and suicidal ideation. However, within 48 hours these diagnoses were changed to adjustment disorder of adolescence with disturbance of conduct, whereupon Mr. Echols was discharged to his parents with instructions to continue taking daily doses of 150 mg. of Imipramine. Despite two psychiatric hospitalizations within six weeks, Mr. Echols' parents allowed the disturbed 17-year-old to return to Arkansas.”     The Case Against … with Gary Meece https://garymeece.podbean.com/feed.xml 1,891Downloads 11Episodes Following Share   Society & Culture The author of “The Case Against the West Memphis 3 Killers” follows new developments in the case, as well as other cases covered in various podcasts, televisions shows and documentaries, such as “Making a Murderer,” “Truth and Justice,” “The Staircase,” and related news coverage, with a heavy emphasis on detailing misinformation and propaganda designed to subvert the judicial process. Episode 11: “A bizarre and unusual manner” The Case Against with Gary Meece, #WM3 #DamienEchols #TrueCrime March 3, 2019 From "Blood on Black: The Case Against the West Memphis 3 Killers, Volume I" by Gary Meece:  "A Bizarre and Unusual Manner"       Damien Echols was first referred to family treatment from the Department of Human Services on May 5, 1992,  a year to the day before the murders.  The family was living in Lakeshore. The referral form, based on allegations from his sister Michelle, stated: “Child reported her step-father has been sexually abusing her for a long time. Her mother knows about it but has done nothing to stop it. Sexual abuse reportedly occurred periodically from age 7 until present. The abuse included fondling.” Charges were pending contingent on counseling. According to records from the East Arkansas Regional Mental Health Center in West Memphis, the family was in deep disarray.  Gloria Stevenson, the family service worker, reported: “It appears that the Echols family has extreme problems related to an ongoing history of sexual abuse, suspected emotions problems and undefined interpersonal relationship disorders. Mr. Echols admits to being overly affectionate with Michelle and to have been charged for indecently exposing himself to an older daughter, however, Mrs. Echols states that she feels Michelle is lying as she has been skipping school and sexually acting out. Michelle alleges to have had several miscarriages though the mother denies it. Damien Echols on the other hand, holds his adopted father in low regard and feels the allegations are in fact true. Mrs. Echols states Damien is in need of counseling and evaluation as he feels he is ‘smarter than everyone else' and will verbalize this fact. He also reportedly has little regard for others and stated he feels people have no true feeling for each other; Their main purpose is to use and bring harm to others around them. Mrs. Echols reports that Damien has attempted to fight with her on occasion.” Beyond the lack of consensus on reality among the Echols family, Damien's mother described his persistent grandiosity and a view of reality typical of psychopathic personalities who have little empathy and view others as objects to be used.  His mother gave the lie to Damien's claim that he was not violent as a teenager. She later told caseworkers that she “was most concerned about son ‘not learning to deal with anger and rages.' {Mother} mentioned her belief that son may be responding to outside stimulation. Voiced fear ‘son may be crazy.'” Besides the family drama,  Damien's teenage love life took a histrionic turn. “By the age of sixteen Mr. Echols' depression and hopelessness was written all over his body,” wrote Dr. George Woods in his 2001 report. “He wore black clothes, hair and nails. His strange, often flat affect kept him out of step with mainstream life in a small Arkansas town. Yet he found one person, a young girl with problems of her own, whom he felt could understand him. They developed a relationship and became inseparable. Her parents strongly opposed their dating and tried to keep them apart. “Desperate to stay together, they planned to go to California. Mr. Echols' mother, overtaxed with her own problems, did not intervene to keep the troubled teenagers near their parents. Instead, she gave them no more than $10.00 to $15.00 - the only money she had - as a contribution toward expenses.” Echols and Deanna Holcomb, 15, had broken up earlier that spring at the insistence of her parents. Echols' violent reaction brought charges of terroristic threatening. Echols promptly found a new girlfriend, Domini Teer, but continued to pursue Deanna. Finally, Damien and Deanna decided to run away together to California. They didn't get far. The teens were reported as runaways on May 19, 1992. Police found them hiding in the closet of an abandoned mobile home in Lakeshore.  The teens were “partially nude from the waist down,” according to the arrest report. Damien and Deanna were both charged initially with burglary and sexual misconduct and taken to the county jail. Juvenile Officer Jerry Driver was contacted, and the teenage lovers were permanently separated. Echols shared a different, infinitely more romantic memory of his final encounter with Deanna in a May 14, 1996, letter to future wife Lorri Davis, as revealed in “Yours for Eternity”: “ … When I was 16, I was very much in love. Her name was Deanna. One day we skipped school together. We walked for miles until we found a place that was absolutely beautiful. There were hills, and the grass was so full and soft and green,  the sky was grey and overcast. We spent hours talking, telling each other things that we had never told another living soul, our worst fears, our most wished-for dreams, and we made love several times.  I never suspected that that would be the last time that I ever saw her. There's no way that words can ever do this memory justice, but it's a day that has returned to haunt me every day of my life.”  This pastoral interlude set amidst the nonexistent hills of Crittenden County was a far cry from the reality of a rainy night in a ramshackle trailer. As he was being held in a police car, Echols later told a psychiatrist, he witnessed his girlfriend's father coming toward her as she waited with officers.  Damien “states that he was able to work his fingers loose, moved over and was able to slip the safety off of the police officer's gun which had been left in the police vehicle. Damien freely admitted he had plans to shoot the girlfriend's father if he acted in an aggressive manner toward the girl.”  As part of his rich fantasy life,  Echols' thoughts often turned to homicide. Sheriff's Department investigators searched the Echols home and confiscated a number of items that would show up at his murder trial, including a dog skull that Echols explained was “a decoration for my room” as well as a “Book of Shadows” detailing his progress on the Wiccan path. “Mr. Echols was taken to a juvenile facility where he attempted to hang himself,” wrote Dr. Woods.  “Following their arrests and initial evaluations both youths were placed in psychiatric hospitals.” Echols was sent first to the Craighead County Juvenile Detention Center  in Jonesboro and then, after the suicide threat, to East Arkansas Regional Mental Health Center. On May 28, 1992, Echols was given a Millon Adolescent Personality (MAPI) test, designed especially for teenagers, which reported “The behavior of this youngster is characterized by impulsive hostility, an apprehensive distrust of others and an edgy defensiveness against criticism.  Fearing that others will dominate and possibly brutalize him, he puts forward a socially blunt and aggressive public posture. He fantasizes being all powerful so as to block others from possessing the means to be belittling and harmful. He believes that only alert vigilance and vigorous counteraction can prevent the malice of others. Closeness to others, displaying weakness and a willingness to compromise are seen as fatal concessions. “The desire to gain power and demean others springs from animosity and a wish to vindicate past grievances. Although frequently unsuccessful in these aims, this teenager believes that past degradations may be undone by provoking fear and intimidation in others. He often loses his temper, gets into fights and acts in a daring fashion. He avoids displaying warmth, gentleness and intimacy. Defiance and disobedience are rationalized into virtues.  … “Inadequacy and failure are intolerable to him, and blame is quickly projected outward. “Disposed to be headstrong and able to inspire discomfort and anger in others, he may use his position in the family to bully young sibs into submission. … He is rarely able to submerge the memories of past humiliations and this resentment may break though … in impulsive and irrational anger. … “Cool and distant,  this youth demonstrates little or no compassion for others, viewing their difficulties as the product of their own weaknesses.  He is likely to feel no compunction about ignoring their needs and sensitivities. This lack of empathy may lead this youngster to serve only himself regardless of the consequences for those around him.” Among the statements about himself that Echols designated as “true”: “It is easy for me to take advantage of people. … Punishment never stopped me from doing whatever I wanted. … I have a pretty hot temper.” He was diagnosed as “adjustment disorder with disturbances of conduct.” Among the therapeutic implications: “Teenager may relate to the clinician in a polite, though passive way. … Difficulties will be attributed to others who are claimed to be the source of problems…. Efforts to be what may be called a good and cooperative patient will be exhibited, even when restraining strong and angry feelings.” Dr. Woods reported: “Personnel at East Arkansas Regional Mental Health Center described Mr. Echols as very disturbed. He was withdrawn, spoke little, and rarely had eye contact with anyone: ‘he stared at the wall or cast his eyes downward.' He appeared ‘confused,' and dressed strangely -- ‘all in black.' He was preoccupied with his fingernails, which he ‘filed to points.' Concerned about the nature and complexity of his problems Mental Health Center staff recommended that Mr. Echols immediately be involuntarily committed to Charter Hospital in Little Rock for more extensive evaluation and treatment.” A request for service dated June 1 recorded a threat “to hang himself while in custody.”  The intake sheet noted that Damien and Deanna had a pact to commit suicide if they could not be together and that Damien was continuing to express suicidal thoughts, voicing plans to use a sheet to hang himself.  Damien admitted to the suicide plan: “It would have been necessary if her parents would not have let us see each other.” Driver had Echols admitted to Charter Hospital in Little Rock for a monthlong stay.  Admission papers noted: “He has a history of extreme physical aggression toward others.” Criteria for the emergency admission included: “1. Fire setting behavior by history.” “2. Potential danger to property.” “3. Excessive irritability and anger that is potentially dangerous and persistent.” “4. Involvement in bizarre and unusual behavior.” A case file from June 1 reported that Echols “admits to having seen suspended 7X this past semester for inciting fights at school, starting small fires, cussing. States in one fight he almost gouged out the victim's eyes.” A report on June 2 stated: “He has been suspended x7 due to negative behaviors in the classroom. Information does suggest that Damien has set fire to his academic classroom on two occasions, that he has also been truant, engaged in physical confrontations while on school grounds and has, often times, threatened to put ‘hexes' on school instructors.” Echols admitted to being a “practicing warlock” while denying devil worship. He had a “blood brother” with whom he exchanged blood. Damien said he had one friend: “A friend is someone who would die for you — everyone else is only interested in themselves & what they want.” Deanna was also admitted for mental treatment, at Mid-South Mental Health; Echols had been scheduled to go there but because his girlfriend was there, he had been sent to Charter. Concerning allegations about abuse in his family,  Damien denied he had been abused, an assertion “strongly questioned.”  He denied feeling violent, saying he saw fighting as a release: “Sometimes I have to do this not because of feeling angry — sometimes I'm confused.” On the home front,  Jack Echols was gone, and Pam Echols had reunited with Joe Hutchison after little or no contact over the past seven years. Damien admitted to using drugs, including speed “over a month ago.” Glori Shettles' “attorney work project” for the Echols murder defense quoted the Charter records: “Information from detention center — Damien and girlfriend to have baby and sacrifice it. Damien denies this. Says he is involved in witchcraft, not satanism. Alleged to have chased younger child with ax and attempted to set house on fire. Damien denies this. States girlfriend's family wants him in trouble. Admits to violence … Suspensions and disruptive at school. Has heart problems, asthma, bronchitis and migraine headaches.” Damien underwent a psychological evaluation. He also explained his name change. He repeatedly has denied that “Damien” was inspired by the diabolical child in the 1970s hit movie “The Omen,” instead claiming he took the name from a Catholic priest who worked with lepers. The name was shared by one of the main characters in “The Exorcist.” A character in that book explains, “It was the name of a priest who devoted his life to taking care of lepers on the island of Molokai.  He finally caught the disease himself.” Among the books found in Echols' room at the time of arrest was a copy of “The Exorcist.” Echols later testified: “… I was very involved in the Catholic church, and we were going over the different names of the saints. St. Michael's was where I went to church at. And we heard about this guy from the Hawaiian Islands, Father Damian, that took care of lepers until he finally caught the disease himself and died.”  Echols said that was the reason he chose the name and it had “nothing whatsoever” to do with “horror movies, Satanism, cultism, anything of that nature.”     Progress notes at Charter indicated depression and bizarre behavior but that Echols was making progress. Echols was prescribed Imipramine at 50 mg on June 5, increased to 100 mg on June 12. Psychological testing by Lewis F. Bracy, PhD, on June 8 showed that Damien was depressed and did not trust others but was not psychotic. The  psychological report revealed Echols had a verbal IQ of 101, a thoroughly average score. Bracy's battery of tests found no evidence of psychosis but the possibility of a thought disorder. “The most prominent finding is that he has a rather strong depression process going on and has real difficulty making contact with people.” The diagnosis:  depressive disorder and bipolar disorder. The assessment of his art produced in the psychological testing could be applied to his current projects: “Damien's drawings reflect rather impoverished, empty appearing figures.  They lack enrichment, color, life and emotion. They appear to be primarily depressive, helpless and in poor contact with reality. … He appears to be a very concretistic person who is arrested in his imaginative function. He would be expected to see things in a rather simplistic, overly constrictive manner.” Based on a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Disorder (MMPI) exam, Echols was given preliminary diagnoses of schizophrenia, disorganized type (paranoid and catalytic types also possible) and bipolar disorder, manic. It was noted: “These persons spend much time in personal fantasy and daydreaming, often with themes of sex or power.” Dr. Woods' affidavit from 2001 described Echols' first trip to Charter in detail, much of which was echoed in trial records: “Mr. Echols was provisionally diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, single episode and medicated with Imipramine, an anti depressant drug.  ... The staff psychiatrist who conducted a mental status exam upon admission described the 17-year old as ‘cooperative and polite' with ‘an odd stare,' and flat affect. ... The psychiatrist had ‘major concerns that this young man was exhibiting disturbed, bizarre and unusual thinking.'” Dr. Woods continued: “Mr. Echols' delusional thinking was evident throughout his hospitalization. He explained that he had ‘no feelings about suicide' because he thought he could ‘be reincarnated.' He indicated to others he thought he possessed special powers. A social worker reported Mr. Echols ‘appeared to be sniffing the air around him as if he were responding to an external stimulus.' He smiled inappropriately and ‘cut his eyes in one direction or the other, as if he were hearing or thinking of something before he spoke.' The social worker concluded he was ‘responding to an outside stimulation' and ‘may have been experiencing auditory hallucinations.' Visual hallucinations also may have been present. Mr. Echols said he thought the furniture in the psychiatric unit ‘was causing blurred vision.' “Mr. Echols exhibited ‘a bizarre and unusual manner' of adjustment to the psychiatric unit that was also reflected in his ‘bizarre and unusual thinking pattern.' He was ‘preoccupied with witchcraft' but consistently denied any involvement with satanic worship. He was observed ‘meditating in his room in a bizarre and unusual fashion,' ‘wrote some very unusual poems,' and remained on ‘the peripheral of the group throughout' his hospitalization. He made unusual and bizarre sounds ‘with his mouth that sound[ed] like a cat purr.' He had ‘trouble making eye contact' and was ‘quite paranoid.' He told staff there were ‘survelance [sic] cameras behind his mirror and under his desk' and cautioned other adolescent patients that staff were ‘constantly watching them.' The hospital staff observed him sitting and ‘rocking methodically back and forth,' daydreaming, and staring into space. When interrupted, he appeared startled. He wanted to ‘calm down' and said he ‘was feeling “jittery'' internally.' Hospital staff noted he showed ‘no aggressive behavior' in the hospital. “Mr. Echols' behavior demonstrated ‘a pervasively depressed mood throughout most of his hospitalization.' He withdrew from family and friends, had a ‘sad facial expression' and ‘spent long intervals alone.' He lost interest in eating, had difficulty going to sleep, and planned ways to commit suicide. He repeatedly thought about wrapping the sheet from his bed around his neck and ‘trying to hang' himself. “Mr. Echols' psychiatric care was interrupted by his parents who removed him from the hospital June 25, 1992, and moved to Oregon. His discharge diagnosis was major depression, single episode, dysthymia and psychotic disorder not otherwise specified. He was instructed to continue taking 150 mg. of Imipramine daily.” Driver was designated to monitor Echols. “Family indicated that they were moving to Denver, Colorado. Prosecuting Attorney was in agreement with Damien leaving State. Not felt to be a danger to himself or to others per doctor.” Echols apparently did not leave the state until weeks later as he was referred again to Charter on July 24 for a screening. That intake report noted: “Dresses all in black — T-shirt slacks & shoes, Wears small gold cross stud” earring in left ear. “Nails are clean & filed to points.”  Damien presented himself as  intelligent, generally honest, calm and coherent, expressing mostly his desire to be with his girlfriend.  He denied feeling angry or depressed, “but appears depressed — voices apathy — blunt affect.” Damien admitted to the suicide pact: “It can go either way now.” “Question of satanic involvement” still lingered. “Extremely dysfunctional family however.” With Damien diagnosed with major depression, dysthymia and a conduct disorder, the preliminary treatment plan was for a resumption of hospitalization due to suicidal thoughts and a range of other issues. But the case was closed because of his parents' plans to move. Woods described Damien's patterns of continued drug use: “Mr. Echols's mental illness did not improve after his hospitalization. He remained in excruciating emotional pain, betrayed by his mind and body. The world was an unsafe, unpredictable maze from which he desperately looked for an escape. He finally found relief in his own form of medication. He instinctively turned to inhalants and began ‘huffing' gasoline; he thought he ‘invented it.' Later he tried marijuana a few times before his arrest, but it did not become a habit. He also used the medication prescribed for his migraine headaches — Midrin — as a means of tolerating stress and fear of attending school. ... Unable to outrun his terror, he withdrew from school in the ninth grade and tried to insulate himself from the external pressures that contributed to his mental illness.” Moving to Oregon would provide no relief.

He was ‘preoccupied with witchcraft' but consistently denied any involvement with satanic worship. He was observed ‘meditating in his room in a bizarre and unusual fashion,' ‘wrote some very unusual poems,' and remained on ‘the peripheral of the group throughout' his hospitalization. He made unusual and bizarre sounds ‘with his mouth that sound[ed] like a cat purr.' He had ‘trouble making eye contact' and was ‘quite paranoid.' He told staff there were ‘survelance [sic] cameras behind his mirror and under his desk' and cautioned other adolescent patients that staff were ‘constantly watching them.' The hospital staff observed him sitting and ‘rocking methodically back and forth,' daydreaming, and staring into space. When interrupted, he appeared startled. He wanted to ‘calm down' and said he ‘was feeling “jittery'' internally.' Hospital staff noted he showed ‘no aggressive behavior' in the hospital. “Mr. Echols' behavior demonstrated ‘a pervasively depressed mood throughout most of his hospitalization.' He withdrew from family and friends, had a ‘sad facial expression' and ‘spent long intervals alone.' He lost interest in eating, had difficulty going to sleep, and planned ways to commit suicide. He repeatedly thought about wrapping the sheet from his bed around his neck and ‘trying to hang' himself. “Mr. Echols' psychiatric care was interrupted by his parents who removed him from the hospital June 25, 1992, and moved to Oregon. His discharge diagnosis was major depression, single episode, dysthymia and psychotic disorder not otherwise specified. He was instructed to continue taking 150 mg. of Imipramine daily.” Driver was designated to monitor Echols. “Family indicated that they were moving to Denver, Colorado. Prosecuting Attorney was in agreement with Damien leaving State. Not felt to be a danger to himself or to others per doctor.” Echols apparently did not leave the state until weeks later as he was referred again to Charter on July 24 for a screening. That intake report noted: “Dresses all in black — T-shirt slacks & shoes, Wears small gold cross stud” earring in left ear. “Nails are clean & filed to points.”  Damien presented himself as  intelligent, generally honest, calm and coherent, expressing mostly his desire to be with his girlfriend.  He denied feeling angry or depressed, “but appears depressed — voices apathy — blunt affect.” Damien admitted to the suicide pact: “It can go either way now.” “Question of satanic involvement” still lingered. “Extremely dysfunctional family however.” With Damien diagnosed with major depression, dysthymia and a conduct disorder, the preliminary treatment plan was for a resumption of hospitalization due to suicidal thoughts and a range of other issues. But the case was closed because of his parents' plans to move. Woods described Damien's patterns of continued drug use: “Mr. Echols's mental illness did not improve after his hospitalization. He remained in excruciating emotional pain, betrayed by his mind and body. The world was an unsafe, unpredictable maze from which he desperately looked for an escape. He finally found relief in his own form of medication. He instinctively turned to inhalants and began ‘huffing' gasoline; he thought he ‘invented it.' Later he tried marijuana a few times before his arrest, but it did not become a habit. He also used the medication prescribed for his migraine headaches — Midrin — as a means of tolerating stress and fear of attending school. ... Unable to outrun his terror, he withdrew from school in the ninth grade and tried to insulate himself from the external pressures that contributed to his mental illness.” Moving to Oregon would provide no relief.       https://eastofwestmemphis.wordpress.com   https://www.facebook.com/WestMemphis3Killers/?epa=SEARCH_BOX https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Black-Against-Memphis-Killers/dp/0692802843/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1550445054&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Black-Against-Memphis-Killers-ebook/dp/B06XVT2976/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_2?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1550445054&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Where-Monsters-Go-Against-Memphis-ebook/dp/B06XVNXCJV/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_3?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1550445054&s=gateway&sr=8-3-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-West-Memphis-Killers-ebook/dp/B07C7C4DCH/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_4?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1550445054&s=gateway&sr=8-4-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-West-Memphis-Killers/dp/B071K8VNBM/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_6?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1550445054&s=gateway&sr=8-6-fkmrnull       https://eastofwestmemphis.wordpress.com   https://www.facebook.com/WestMemphis3Killers/?epa=SEARCH_BOX https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Black-Against-Memphis-Killers/dp/0692802843/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1550445054&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Black-Against-Memphis-Killers-ebook/dp/B06XVT2976/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_2?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1550445054&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Where-Monsters-Go-Against-Memphis-ebook/dp/B06XVNXCJV/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_3?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1550445054&s=gateway&sr=8-3-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-West-Memphis-Killers-ebook/dp/B07C7C4DCH/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_4?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1550445054&s=gateway&sr=8-4-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-West-Memphis-Killers/dp/B071K8VNBM/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_6?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1550445054&s=gateway&sr=8-6-fkmrnull

Betsy Gelb explored all sorts of new ways to exercise before deciding that yoga resonated most deeply for her. In fact, within her first year of practicing, she immersed herself into an intense yoga teacher training. Having recently met Betsy, as my new yoga teacher, I was delighted to have a teacher who confidently and gracefully embraced aging (she recently turned 70), challenged us to cultivate upper body strength and shared her philosophy about breath, yoga, health, silence and the power of turning inward. Betsy says that her niche in yoga is that she is simultaneously the oldest and the youngest: she typically is the oldest person in the class, however having come to yoga so late in her life, has the youngest practice.   I discovered that before she found yoga, Betsy had a full, diverse career. She was a psychiatric nurse at a methadone maintenance program, taught nursing at St. Vincent's Hospital, was a psychiatric nurse supervisor at Jacoby Hospital, was a teaching fellow at NYU, wrote a curriculum for mental health nursing and she was the editor for RN Magazine. In addition to her extensive work in the field of nursing, Betsy was a docent for the Whitney and Guggenheim museums, taught art literacy in NYC schools, ran her own women's clothing business, offered baking workshops a local bakery called “Taste the Love” and collaborated with her husband, musician/composer Larry Gelb, in writing the book for their musicals. One of the musicals Betsy and Larry created, “Love So Dear” is based on the true story of how LSD was introduced into the United States. Betsy shares intriguing details from her thorough research of the corruptive relationship between the CIA and LSD. I was fascinated with my yoga teacher's depth of knowledge and wisdom in such a wide range of topics.

Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, Associate Editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore, and I'm just so thrilled to be joined by a co-host today and that's Dr. Amit Khera. He's the Editor of Digital Strategies for Circulation from UT Southwestern. Welcome, Amit. Dr. Amit Khera:                 Hi, Carolyn. Thank you for letting me participate today and we're excited about this Fit featured podcast. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               We have a very special episode today. First of all, because we don't have a print issue that follows this week and so, there's no usual summaries, but we do have special guests and these are the Fellows-in-Training.                                                 Now, we sent out a call online to all the fellows to tell us a bit about themselves as well as which articles in Circulation stood out to them, and we had an overwhelming response from all over the world, of which these two fellows really stood out.                                                 So, join me in welcoming Dr. Punag Divanji from United States and Dr. Mayooran Namasivayam from Australia. Welcome. Dr. Punag Divanji:            Hi, thank you so much for having us. Dr. Mayooran Namasivayam:      Thank you very much. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               So, Punag, could you start us off by telling us a little bit about yourself, your training, your dreams, and why you chose that particular paper from this month's Circulation that spoke to you? Dr. Punag Divanji:            I'm currently a second year Cardiology Fellow, completing my General Fellowship and beginning a research year at the University of California in San Francisco. I will be pursuing research in women's health and subsequently pursuing an Interventional Cardiology Fellowship. Subsequently, this, hopefully, will lead to a career in academic Interventional Cardiology. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Now, we asked you to pick an article from Circulation. I really wonder which was your pick? Dr. Punag Divanji:            I think one of the most important ones that spoke to me recently was the CVD-REAL Study, the comparative effectiveness of cardiovascular outcomes in new users of SGLT2 inhibitors. The CVD-REAL Study from Dr. Kosiborod of the Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute and an international group of colleagues was the first multinational retrospective observational study to compare CVD outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes, who were prescribed sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors or SGLT2 inhibitors. The primary objective of this study was to compare the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in patients with established type 2 diabetes that were newly initiated on SGLT2 inhibitors.                                                 Patients who were newly initiated on an SGLT2 inhibitor had a 39% lower risk of hospitalization for heart failure compared with those newly initiated on other glucose lowering drugs. There was significant geographic variation in the use of SGLT2 inhibitors, with the predominance of canagliflozin in the United States, dapagliflozin in European countries, and no more than 7% penetration of empagliflozin in any of these six countries.                                                 Despite this, there was no signs of significant heterogeneity across the countries, suggesting the cardiovascular benefits observed may be class related. In addition, the reduced risk of hospitalization for heart failure was stable across sensitivity analyses, including sequential occlusion of other glucose-lowering drugs like insulin, metformin, or even the GLP-1 receptor agonists, the only other class of drug with benefits in CVOTs. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Punag, give us an idea why this paper stand out to you. I mean, we had the EMPA-REG Outcome Trial, and I'd love to know how much you use this medication in your practice, and did it change after this? Dr. Punag Divanji:            This is, I think, a profoundly important study for a number of reasons. Type 2 diabetes carries a significant burden of cardiovascular risk. It's associated with complications like heart failure, myocardial infarction, and all caused death, of course. We have for many years been treating cardiovascular disease in diabetes with an aim towards reduction in hemoglobin A1c. However, we know that reduction in hemoglobin A1c has not necessarily resulted in improvement in cardiovascular outcomes. The EMPA-REG Outcome Study and the recent CANVAS Study seem to suggest that these medications may have a benefit, these SGLT2 inhibitors may have a benefit in cardiovascular outcomes.                                                 In practicing clinical cardiology, we often refer our patients with diabetes to endocrinologists or to their Primary Care physicians to initiate diabetes medications, and aren't directly involved in that decision making. The result of trials like these though, seems to indicate that medications that can have a cardiovascular outcome in this high-risk patient population, may indeed benefit from the input of cardiologists.                                                 With the high penetrance of medications like insulin and metformin in this population, there may indeed be room for initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors, and if it is indeed a class effect, as this seems to indicate, there is considerable room for addition of this medication into our  [inaudible 00:05:13]. And potentially a pretty significant benefit, in terms of cardiovascular outcomes. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               I agree. I took that with me as well, especially because, you know, it's as the name says, CVD-REAL was supposed to be a real world setting, and it included diabetic patients, like you nicely emphasized that didn't have established cardiovascular disease, so maybe addressing a wider population than that was seen in EMPA-REG Outcomes. Thank you so much, Punag.                                                 Could I turn to you now, Mayooran? So, all the way from Australia, could you tell us a little bit about yourself and your training? Dr. Mayooran Namasivayam:      I'm in my third year of Cardiology Fellowship at St. Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, Australia. I'm also involved with post-graduate research doing my PhD through the University of New South Wales and the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute doing clinical work here at St. Vincent's. And my particular areas of interest are cardiac imaging and heart failure, and I'll be looking to do an advance Fellowship in imaging and/or heart failure in the near future. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Brilliant! So, which paper did you pick over the last month? Which spoke to you? Dr. Mayooran Namasivayam:      I picked two papers. But the first one I was going to discuss was the paper by Nickenig and colleagues, which looked at trans-catheter treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation using edge-to-edge MitraClip technique, which I found very interesting. So this was an observational feasibility study, which primarily looked at safety outcomes at 30 days, but also the technical feasibility of performing this procedure for tricuspid regurgitation therapy. Essentially the authors demonstrated that there was a reduction in tricuspid regurgitation severity or TR grade in 91% of their cohort. There are also improvement in soft surrogate endpoints such as New York Heart Association class and six-minute walk test distance, and importantly there were no intraprocedural major adverse events; however, there were three in-hospital deaths.                                                 I found the study particularly interesting because it's a very emerging technology using the MitraClip in the tricuspid position and to date, this is the largest study on this subject. It recruited patients from 10 centers. I think, interestingly, the 22 patients in that cohort, had both mitral and tricuspid valve disease treated with the MitraClip technique. I think it really bodes well for the future of transcatheter valve interventions and I think shows that this is A, technically possible, but in the early stages at least safe and possibly efficacious, but certainly we would need longer term data to confirm that this is making a difference for people and that it is safer in the long term. I think it raised a lot of important issues going forward using transcatheter interventions in the tricuspid position. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               You said that you're interested in heart failure and training in heart failure. Do you see that a lot, because I certainly do? Dr. Mayooran Namasivayam:      Yes, we see it quite a lot at our center. Our center is a [inaudible 00:08:10] transplant center and so a lot of our patients with cardiomyopathy have quite bad tricuspid regurgitation. Many of them in the setting of left heart failure, some in the setting of pulmonary hypertension, and then some in our post transplant population we see some tricuspid regurgitation as well.                                                 I think we're following on from the surgical literature, which shows that if you have some degree of mitral regurgitation that requires surgical intervention and there's at least moderate tricuspid regurgitation, then correction of that may be of some benefit. If we follow that on using transcatheter methodology, then certainly this may be an option going forward for patients that have transcatheter mitral valve repairs or replacements. One of the benefits of using a transcatheter method is you're not limited to the one opportunity you have with cardiopulmonary bypass where a decision's made to seek either both mitral and tricuspid together or potentially do it as staged procedure if we were to use the transcatheter approach.                                                 So, yeah, we certainly see severe tricuspid regurgitation a lot and I think options such as this really do give us therapeutic opportunities for our patients who may not have the surgical robustness to have a general anesthetic and a big tricuspid valve replacement or repair surgically. I think the other key population where this may be relevant is tricuspid valve intervention in the post transplant setting where re-operation in the setting of immunosuppression may be problematic and fraught with adverse events. I think it's quite promising going forward and I'd love to see more data on this in the near future. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Indeed, and it's just so nice to hear about how the articles in our journal have, well, if I may say, inspired both of you.                                                 Amit, I know that we want to get our fellows talking a little bit more about Circulation On The Run. Can I hand it over to you now? Dr. Amit Khera:                 Sure, absolutely, and thank you Carolyn for handing the baton.                                                 I first want to give my full disclosure. I'm a Fellowship Program Director and of all the hats I wear, I find that to be one of the most important ones. You know, at Circulation, we certainly appreciate that Fellows-in-Training are the future of cardiovascular medicine and cardiovascular science. We are actively looking for ways to better engage the Fellows-in-Training and to make sure we're meeting their needs and enhancing their career trajectory. So, I appreciate both of you being on the call today and for this inaugural Fit podcast series, and this will not be the last of this series. So, we look forward to doing more.                                                 Maybe I will ask each of you individually, and I'll start with you Mayooran, can you tell me a little bit about how you consume the medical literature. I appreciate that it's generational and back in the day, everybody would get their print copy in the mail and now there's many different ways to consume it. Tell me a little bit about how you go through the medical literature and your way around that. Dr. Mayooran Namasivayam:      I tend to do a regular periodic browsing of the online journals. I tend to have a few journals, one of which is Circulation that I read sort of on a weekly or at most, fortnightly basis. Just to dig out the key articles of interest and the major updates. At our hospital the fellows have a weekly journal club meeting, which I actually chair. It's quite refreshing to get everyone's different opinions in their own areas of interest from the fellows to discuss topics of interest from various journals.                                                 So, for me personally, it's a combination of browsing online journals with combining a more formal setting as our journal club. But from a research perspective, I use things like the RSS feeds and Journal Alerts, so journal articles that come up in key topics of research interest for myself. With regards to clinical practice, I tend to browse. Speaking to colleagues of mine, they use various things like social media or apps which will highlight major developments or summarize key articles. I think increasingly, that will be the way forward. But that's the way I go about it. Dr. Amit Khera:                 What I really like what you said were a few things. Obviously there's an overwhelming amount of literature and by using tools like RSS feeds and table of contents, you can sort of keep up. I like that you're complementing that at your institution with this deep dive of journal club; this thing that many institutions including ours do, where you're really vetting articles in detail and hearing different perspectives. So, a nice blend of ways to consume it.                                                 Punag, I'm going to ask you a little bit about social media. When I looked, turns out CVD REAL, the one that you chose, had an altmetric score of 487, so we think of impact factor, but altmetric's a whole other way to look at impact of our articles.                                                 I'm curious about your thoughts on social media and the place of social media with disseminating scientific literature. I know many fellows are actively involved on Facebook and Twitter and other pathways. Tell us a little bit about your thoughts on that. Dr. Punag Divanji:            You know, very similar to the practice described in Australia, it's very similar to what we do here. We have weekly journal clubs, we discuss these articles with the faculty and really try to integrate it into our practice. A big part of that at, I think, many institutions across the country is the use of social media.                                                 It is particularly robust, I think, in the cardiovascular field, especially at national or international meetings wherein late breaking clinical data is rapidly disseminated. The outcomes and a few important trials that will impact clinical practice are rapidly disseminated, such that we are able to, I think, quite quickly access information, but beyond that, learn for example, the description is such that medical literature is doubling every two to three years. It's difficult to keep pace with that, but when thought leaders in the field present data that they find most interesting, most useful, or most relevant to patient care on a platform like social media, it's, I think, a wonderful way for Fellows-in-Training to quickly aggregate high quality data. It's something that I rely on heavily. Dr. Amit Khera:                 I think that's a great point, and where things have changed now is not only can you get information quickly through social media, but as you pointed out, the ability to interact with luminaries in the field to get their opinion on it and even engage in a conversation. That certainly wasn't available several years back and I think it's a great advance for Fellows-in-Training.                                                 I'm going to stick with you for a second and hear your thoughts a little bit on how Circulation may better engage Fellows-in-Training or meet their needs.                                                 How can Circulation or other journals for that matter help in the pathway for Fellows-in-Training? Dr. Punag Divanji:            I think the concerns of Fellows-in-Training are unique in comparison to those already in practice. We are at a point in our careers where we're trying to learn the basic important groundwork of cardiology, but at the same time, given the rapid evolution of data, it's imperative that we have the ability to learn new things on top of that foundation.                                                 Engaging fellows in that way, I think, involves a strategy that looks at a couple of different things. One is obviously social media, which is, let's be honest one of the core ways that trainees interact, and let's be honest, one of the most common things you see a trainee doing is looking at their phone. Dr. Amit Khera:                 And faculty. Dr. Punag Divanji:            And faculty for that matter, fair enough. But if you're able to provide information via Twitter or via this Circulation app and be able to alert someone of a new update in the field or a new guideline document or a way to better risk stratify patients that come in with myocardial infarction, this type of rapidly accessible data I think plays well to the [ethos 00:15:32] of the fellow wherein we like to be able to do things quickly and effectively, but also expand our knowledge in the most efficient way possible. Dr. Amit Khera:                 That's very insightful. So, if I hear you correctly, it's sort of continuing to make sure that we disseminate information quickly and rapidly to Fellows-in-Training in a way that is easy for them to consume.                                                 This brings to the point about when we look at our metrics, the podcast and other digital media strategies we have really hit broadly in an international audience, which we're very excited about.                                                 Certainly, Mayooran, I'm going to ask you as well your views on how can Circulation or other journals for that matter help engage Fellows-in-Training or enhance their training and career trajectories? Dr. Mayooran Namasivayam:      I guess today is a wonderful opportunity for fellows to participate in Circulation's online activities and engage with fellows from around the world, so this is one such example. I think echoing some of the thoughts of Dr. Divanji, as a fellow, you're doing many things and you're wearing many hats. You're learning new procedures, you're learning core cardiology, you're involved in research, you're doing on-call activities and clinical duties, and sort of amassing the latest evidence and putting that together and working out how that's going to change your practice now and in the future is important, but is not always easy to do.                                                 I think features such as Circulation's podcast, which summarize key developments sort of state-of-the-art review articles, guideline summaries, which come out in Circulation, and even the simple things like the summaries that come out on the print journals which say what is new and what are the clinical implications, which allow us to read that in a minute or two, and then read on if we're so interested, but at least get a summary or a snapshot of a major article. I think those features are really key in sort of summarizing key developments in a short and accessible way. I think as been discussed already, engaging with the newer media, social media, online media in the way that other publishing modalities such as newspapers are sort of engaging with their audience I think, is certainly important in the future to an increasingly time-poor audience. Dr. Amit Khera:                 Well, glad to hear that these features are resonating well with you both and it's certainly helping you in terms of accessing and understanding the relevance of these articles in your daily practice.                                                 The final question, I'll finish with you and then come back to Punag, is, as Carolyn says every week, this is your backstage pass to the editorial process, so a way to look behind the curtain or Oz if you will on how journals work and we certainly strive for transparency at Circulation.                                                 So, I'm going to maybe ask you if you have any questions for us on how the journal works or any questions regarding the editorial process? Dr. Mayooran Namasivayam:      I guess one of the things that I was wondering was you must, particularly at Circulation, just be inundated with a huge array of papers, which I'm sure all are of excellent quality.                                                 When you're looking at a paper quickly to make a decision about whether it's something you'd pursue further or look into, what gives you that instinct that you know this is probably a good paper? Is it the abstract? Is it the cover letter? Is it the title? What gives you that first impression that we should really look into this a bit further? Dr. Amit Khera:                 Well that's a fantastic question. I'll answer and I'll see if Carolyn wants to add anything as an associate editor as well.                                                 First you have to realize that yes, there's enormous volume of papers, but the most important thing is to assemble an expert team. I think Dr. Hill, our editor-in-chief, Joe Hill has certainly done that. He's established an international group of associate editors that are well-accomplished across the breadth of cardiovascular spectrum, so your interest is in heart failure, you have a couple of imaging type articles, Punag has talked about women's cardiovascular health and also diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We have editors that really have expertise on each of these areas.                                                 The first level is our editorial, editor-in-chief, and deputy editors, et cetera who'll take the first pass at which articles seem to be well done and would meet priority for Circulation. Then distribute them to editors that are content experts, that really understand those areas well. I take that responsibility very seriously when I get a paper. I know I've been on the other end of that. It's a tremendous amount of work. All the authors have contributed, patients have contributed their data. So, we take that responsibility incredibly seriously.                                                 We try to be thoughtful, that if it's a paper that really will not meet priority, we should turn it around quickly and let the authors know that so that they can then move onto another journal and not waste time. The flip is, if something seems that in our field, in our expertise would meet priority to our readers and could advance the field, we send it out for expert review, then have a very thoughtful discussion, even in advance online, through a web portal and then as a group with all of our editors across the world, to really think critically about each paper, it's merits and ways to strengthen it. We always try to do that, which is to not only say yes or no on a paper, but what can we tell an author to make a paper better, because we want the very best products coming out on Circulation.                                                 I hope that gives you an idea of how we think about it. It's sort of a tiered approach, starting with our editor-in-chief and deputy editors and then down to associate editors. Again, we try to turn it around, how would we want our papers treated if we were submitting to a journal?                                                 Carolyn, do you have anything to add to that. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Yeah.                                                 So, Mayooran, that's great question. I think I can guess where it's coming from, sort of if one were to submit a paper to Circulation, is there any particular part that you would want to focus on, because that's the part that immediately catches our attention, right? I think that's what you're asking.                                                 Well, I would say without a doubt it's the science. So, you talked about the cover letter, you talked about abstract and things, the most important bar that the paper has to cross is validity. Then, right next to that would be novelty. So, for us, you know, once we can see that the science is well done and the results look robust, that has to be there before anything even happens beyond. Then, that's when the process kicks in like Amit said. Then we look at it from our specialty points of view and make sure that it's something novel and something that would be of interest to our Circulation audience.                                                 Does that answer your question? Dr. Mayooran Namasivayam:      It does. It does, thank you both very much. Thank you. Dr. Amit Khera:                 All right, I'm going to now pitch the same question to you, Punag.                                                 What are your thoughts? What sort of questions you have for us behind the curtain of Oz and the editorial process? Dr. Punag Divanji:            You know it's quite interesting, one of the most compelling components of the Circulation on the Run podcast is at the end when Dr. Lam has a wonderful discussion with the associate editor that was responsible for the article and the authors and gives us an idea not only of what drove their process of scientific discovery, but also what drove the editors to really believe in that article to warrant publication; to say that this is something that our readers need to see. I think that really quite remarkable to gain that point of view.                                                 My question is, you seemed to strike this balance between basic translation and clinical research when publishing each week. There are often a variety of topics that come from all three fields. Each week in the publication, there seems to be this balance between basic translational and clinical research wherein the readers really are able to gain perspective into the entire field of cardiology from articles that range from clinical outcomes from blood sugar management to the [pathophysiology 00:22:57] of takotsubo syndrome.                                                 How do you, as editors, strike that balance in each issue? How do you decide which articles are going to be published in concert with others? Dr. Amit Khera:                 That's a great question. Sort of looking at the spectrum of types of articles and types of science and how do you decide sort of what goes together. Kind of like a meal, you know, what components go together. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               I'd like to call it wine paring. Dr. Amit Khera:                 Wine pairing. I like that. So, if it's a roast, what sort of red wine and so forth. I think that's an excellent question.                                                 I think first, we do strive for balance and that, as you know, Dr. Hill has a ... his lab is a basic science lab, and Circulation has always been a journal which does the hightest quality science including both basic science and clinical and translational research. I also say we have other offerings as you know, which are thought pieces on my mind, and perspective pieces. So we really try to have the full spectrum. As we talk about, there are many people that enjoy their vegetables, the hard core original research articles, but a lot of people also like the deserts and the appetizers, these other types of articles that I mentioned.                                                 I think it's trying to find that right balance. We always like to have a balance of all of those together, because we appreciate there's a spectrum of readers and at the same time, we also appreciate that I'm more of a clinical researcher, I can gain insight and value from reading basic science research and similarly the basic scientist could gain value from the types of clinical articles we try to place in Circulation.                                                 So I think maybe as was mentioned, a little bit of a menu and a wine pairing we include this whole spectrum of different types of offerings, but I think the one bar is they all have to be articles that have some clinical implications, be it clinical, translational, or basic science, even the epidemiologic studies research that I do, they all have to, in the end, have some sort of clinical importance or relevance. I think that's the benchmark for all of the articles.                                                 Carolyn, do you want to add anything? Dr. Carolyn Lam:               No, I think you got it all. In fact, Amit, I'm going to turn it back to you for the last question.                                                 As Editor of Digital Strategies for Circulation, tell us, what's in store? Dr. Amit Khera:                 Well, you know, it's been a great first year and I think many would say one of the highlights has been the podcast for sure. I think we've developed a platform of social media engagement, of learning how to work though our digital strategies platforms and setting a high bar for our podcast.                                                 Now it's time to go to level two, or next level. How do we enhance what we're offering? How do we get creative about new types of podcasts, like this one we're doing today? How do we think about more interactive social media engagement? How do we further enhance the way we distribute science across the world? So, we have a big appetite and big ambition, but I think that is what we should be doing when we have such good science and making sure we disseminate it broadly.                                                 So, I think you'll see building on the platform we've already established, and apropos to today, I hope we really bring the Fits along with us on this ride to further expand our offering of our science. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Thank you so much for joining us on this special episode. Don't forget to tune in next week.

TODAY'S GUEST: Neal Barnard, M.D., F.A.C.C., is an adjunct associate professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, D.C., president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and founder of Barnard Medical Center. Dr. Barnard is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology, the 2016 recipient of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine's Trailblazer Award, and has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 70 scientific publications as well as 18 books, including the New York Times best-sellers Power Foods for the Brain, 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart, and the USA Today best-seller Dr. Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes. As president of the Physicians Committee, Dr. Barnard leads programs advocating for preventive medicine, good nutrition, and higher ethical standards in research. He hosts four PBS television programs on nutrition and health and is frequently called on by news programs to discuss issues related to nutrition and research. Originally from Fargo, N.D., Dr. Barnard received his medical degree from the George Washington University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the same institution. He practiced at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York before returning to Washington to found the Physicians Committee. In 2015, Dr. Barnard founded the nonprofit Barnard Medical Center, which opened in January 2016, in Washington, D.C. Barnard Medical's board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered dietitians provide complete primary care. Barnard Medical also helps patients tackle the causes of illness, with extra attention on improving health through prevention and nutrition. Barnard Medical takes advantage of years of research conducted by the Physicians Committee research team and other researchers, showing how a new approach to medicine and nutrition could help prevent and reverse serious health problems, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, migraines, and arthritis. Barnard Medical's focus on nutrition includes comprehensive nutrition counseling with registered dietitians and group cooking classes. As a child in Fargo, North Dakota, Barnard studied piano, cello, and guitar, and took his love of music with him to Washington, DC, where he attended medical school while establishing himself in the DC music scene. Barnard started composing and recording songs in the 80s, and he played music professionally throughout his medical school and residency. With a penchant for the avant-garde, Neal constantly writes songs that defy any genre categorization. He chooses unconventional time meters as well, in order to “tilt the song ever so slightly and give you that little jolt between the ears,” as he puts it. Be sure to check out the debut CarbonWorks CD - out today on all digital music sites! More about Neal Barnard CarbonWorks music will surprise those who know Barnard as the physician who has authored more than 70 scientific publications and 18 books, whose NIH-funded research revolutionized the nutritional treatment of diabetes, and who is a recognized authority on science and health. As founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and a faculty member at the George Washington University School of Medicine, the trailblazing physician has dramatically influenced U.S. nutrition policies, arm-wrestled with the food industry, and worked to replace the use of animals in education and research with kinder methods. In keeping with the tradition of luminaries like Albert Einstein, who played violin with symphony orchestras and Harvard researcher Rudy Tanzi, who played keyboards with Aerosmith, Barnard's scientific innovations are complemented by his explorations in music. As a way of bridging together these two worlds, Barnard gives talks about his findings on how music profoundly affects the brain and “why it beats heroin and Velveeta!” For more info: CarbonWorksMusic.com Follow Barnard Medical Center on Facebook @BarnardMedical.
